What a great car! Soooo happy the stars aligned enough for me to get a shot at a cool Split. The Hoffman history is really interesting, but just as exciting to me is the fact that it's the simpler Standard model, which is VERY different than a Deluxe Split. There is plenty of time to decide, but initial thoughts are to keep the body and interior as OG as possible. I might even restore the 25-hp engine and run the stock crashbox trans. The front beam is incorrect and no 16" wheels, and both are probably findable, but very expensive. Sooo, I may just put a nice custom beam, cool wheels, and give it a nice low stance for a while and have some fun with it. Anyway.... first things first, so the body will go off for metalwork & paint, and I'll work the pan, suspension, and drivetrain myself. Gonna be a fun build for sure! |
